When is an Air Conditioner Issue Considered an Emergency?

Your air conditioner is a very important part of your home in the summer. It is normal to get concerned when you see, hear or feel little changes that involve your air conditioner. You may wonder if this is something you need to get looked at right away or if it is something that is normal. This blog will help you determine if you should call an HVAC company like Bartlett Heating and Air right away. One of the reasons you should call us right away is when you hear screeching noises of any kind. Your air conditioner will make some odd noises at times but a screeching noise is a bad thing. You can have several different issues if you are hearing a screech. You could have a loose belt or your compressor may be overworking itself. Both of these situations can be bad. If you hear the screeching noise please shut off the air conditioner right away. The next thing you need to worry about is if you smell a burning smell. A burning smell can mean something has overheated and is burning or that something electrical may have gone wrong. Shut the system off right away and call Bartlett Heating and Air. One last big issue is when you have no air flow or if the unit will simply not turn on. This means your cooling system has failed. There are many different causes for this that range from electrical components to a faulty thermostat. This can sometimes be a really easy fix but should be taken care of right away.
